1 Timothy 6:2

Partakers of the benefit [ο ι τ η ς ε υ ε ρ γ ε σ ι α ς α ν τ ι λ α μ β α ν ο μ ε ν ο ι]. The verb means to take hold of; hence, to take hold for the purpose of helping; to take up for, as Luke 1:54; Acts 20:35. o P. Euergesia, benefit only here and Acts 4:9. Better, kindly service. Rend. they that busy themselves in the kindly service. 126 The reference is to the kindly acts which the masters do to their slaves; not to the benefits received by the slaves. Comp. Galatians 5:13.
